Asham Stompers returning to Metis Festival

The Asham Stompers are returning to the Chautauqua and French-Canadian/Metis Festival. The jig and square dance group received standing ovations at every performance at the 2013 Chautauqua and French Festi val.

The dance group from Mani-toba will perform Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 22 and 23, at Old Crossing and Treaty Park near Huot, MN.

The dancers combine the Red River Jig with square dancing, adding some new steps to the traditional dance of the Canadian Metis. The jig originated from dances of the First Nations, French, English and Scots.

Along with the Stompers, the Wolven Band from Manitoba will play traditional French-Canadian and Metis music at the park Aug. 22 and 23 and for a dance in Red Lake Falls on Saturday night.

Throughout the weekend, there will be programs, demon-strations, arts and crafts dis-plays and activities for children. Food, including French Festival specialties such a Tourtiere (meat pie) and bread baked in the earth oven will be available.

Admission is free and the public is welcome to all events in the park.

The Old Crossing and Treaty Park is on Red Lake Co. Road 3 and seven miles northeast of Gentilly on County Road 11 or 10 miles southwest of Red Lake Falls.

Spiny waterflea confirmed in Lake Vermilion

Spiny waterflea has been confirmed in Lake Vermilion in northern Minnesota.

Anglers reported suspected spiny waterfleas to Department of Natural Resources staff and supplied a specimen to the DNR fisheries office in Tower, where it was positively identified. DNR aquatic biologists sur-veyed portions of the lake with plankton nets and weighted lines to confirm the presence of spiny waterflea in the lake. Live specimens were located near J B and Ely islands in the east basin.

Lake Vermilion and the Ver-milion River will be designated as infested waters, and signs will be posted at public water access points to alert boaters and other recreationists. Crane Lake, a downstream water, is already designated for spiny waterflea.

“DNR staff are coordinat-ing with the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa and U.S. Forest Service to alert boaters and other recreationists of the risk of spread,” said Rich Rezanka, DNR aquatic biologist.

Spiny waterflea is a small crustacean that disrupts the food web and competes with small fish as it forages on ani-mal plankton such as daphnia. Because of its long tail spike, the spiny waterflea is not eaten by small fish.

The species reproduces by a process called parthenogenesis. Most of the year, the species population is entirely female, which allows for rapid popula-tion growth. Microscopic spiny waterflea eggs are hardy and ca-pable of overwintering in lakes, and their small size makes them an easy candidate for overland transfer in water or mud.

When populations are high, anglers can experience frus-tration with masses of spiny waterfleas clogging fishing and downrigging lines, and other water equipment.

Recreationists on these lakes should look for infested waters signs at public accesses. The signs remind people using the lakes to be aware of the finding and take additional precau-tions to prevent the spread to other lakes. Bait harvest for any purpose is prohibited in lakes infested with spiny waterflea.

Anglers, boaters and other recreationists are reminded to clean all aquatic plants, zebra mussels, and other prohibited invasive species from watercraft and trailers, drain water from all water equipment and drain bilges and livewells by removing the drain plug before leaving the boat landing, and dispose of unwanted bait in the trash.

More information about spiny waterfleas, how to inspect boats and other water-related equipment, and a current list of designated infested waters is available on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/ais.

Obituary Notices

Ask a Trooperb y S g t . N e i l

D i c k e n s o n o f t h e Minnesota State Patrol

Question: What is the penalty for driv-ing around a barricade when a road is closed?

Answer: Minnesota State Statute 160.2715 says; “It shall be unlaw-ful to drive over, though, or around any barricade, fence, or obstruction erected for the purpose of preventing traffic from passing over a portion of a highway closed to public travel or to remove, deface, or damage any such barricade, fence, or obstruction.” The violation is a misdemeanor, with a fine up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail.

When roads are closed, they are closed for a reason. Safety is our top priority, not only for the motoring public, but also for law enforcement, snow plows, construction workers, and other responding personnel that may be providing services on those closed roads.

ROAD CLOSED TO THRU TRAFFIC or LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY tells you that you NEED to take a different route and should only cross the barrier if you have no other option to reach your destination within the restricted area. For ex-ample, if the driveway to your home, worksite, or a friend or relative’s home can only be accessed on the restricted road-way, you are LOCAL TRAFFIC and NOT THRU TRAFFIC. If your destination is outside

the restricted area, you must take another route and not go THRU.

R O A D C L O S E D means just that; you cannot enter or cross the barrier; if you try, you may not get through, you may damage road work, get stuck and/or be subject to a citation.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says it would not typically close a road if access was needed. Even emer-gency vehicles generally have to re-route around a closed road.

One of the best resources to get road closure information is to call “511” or www.511mn.org. The State Patrol, Department of Public Safety and Minnesota Department of Transportation are quick to relay information to 511 so the public can be informed. Information is also available on websites and social media (Facebook and Twitter).

Troopers across the state want to see everyone stay safe and use good common sense by not driving around a closed road barricade. Use extreme caution when traveling in a road closed to local traffic only area.

If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Sgt. Neil Dick-enson – Minnesota State Patrol at 1131 Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811. (You can follow me on Twitter @MSPPIO_NE or reach me at, [email protected]

Theology in the TrenchesBy Kathleen Kjolhaug

Caustic ChaosI avoid writing along

these lines as they are oft times blurred and way too often heard…so I’d rather mute the voices. They cost us. The drums beat heavily now as the makers of such craft entertain across global lines killing cows. That’s what I call it…hunters of cows...cow killers. Not manly…not even remotely courageous. Cowardice acts…random at best, yet intentionally chosen creating caustic chaos.

Education is what I’m in, but I suppose if you take a closer look, most of us are. Mammas teach youngins, daddies do too. Bosses teach by creating healthy work environments. Public ser-vants serve by modeling that it is good to give. Grocery clerks greet with a smile spreading cheer through encounters at the counters. Pastors teach and preach the living gospel helping us all understand truths we’d not understood. We all teach something.

The bad doers teach too. They teach that we live in a time when news is negative and sins are broadcast bits of brokenness reverberating around the world. We hurt, we pause, albeit for shorter segments, we take note. Used to be we’d linger over the tragedies. Each seemed shock-ing. Waves of brokenness would conquer an otherwise tranquil afternoon and we’d feel the depths of pain others were going through. Complete strangers yet, we were one.

Too fast, too frequent, too oft. I switch it off…intentionally so I may find some sense of norm. So I may take my moment of quiet amidst the chaos, I pause. I take my quiet time, phone friends to make sure all is well. Sometimes I step out onto my front porch in order to turn from the turmoil of the world.

Intentionally placing our television behind doors helps me feel as though I may put it all away at will. When those doors are opened and that which is within spills forth uninvited into my living room…I wonder. Would I have invited that per-son over tonight…and allowed them to speak those words within my home? Would I let that couple on the screen sit in front of my grandchildren and do what they do? Would I allow

the bloodbaths to spill all over my carpet?

I suppose you al-ready know the answer; I would not. And, neither would you. But I suppose you already know that inadvertently that is exactly what we do when we let into our sacred

space that which is in the world. My adult children get frustrated when I voice these thoughts. I’ve been told, “You can’t shelter yourself away from the reality of what goes on in the world.” I’ve been told, “I like to know what’s going on in the world, and so I want to watch the news.” And, I find myself saddened because I cannot feel one more ounce of sad for one more sad story, or one more sin spoken aloud.

So, what can I do? I’ve heard it said as of late, when you hear…”do” nothing. When you hear…pray. I suppose you call that intercessory for a big old world out there of which we are clearly elbow to elbow.

So perhaps it’s as simple as going behind closed doors my-self, and praying rather than listening to the nightmares oth-ers must live…and gawking…feeling bad…and feeling sad for that which goes on all around. I do know we must know of some things in this world. We can-not live in isolation. However, listening mindlessly to mind-less acts of horror…does more harm than good…in my mind and to it.

Matthew 6:6 lays it out. “But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private.” Perhaps when the news hour is upon us, I will do precisely that. Amen.

“A Personable Company Keeping

O14CO21C

by Keith CummingIt was going to be a hot night

of racing for the WISSOTA Polydome Dirt Track Series at the Greenbush Race Park as the Advantage RV Modified Tour presented by Watertown Ford Chrysler was set to race in temps in the low 90's.

The top six drivers in the Tour point standings all made the trip up North as 21 cars took to the track for the 40 lap feature. Danny Staff of E. St. Paul, Mb., and Ryan Kereluk of St. Andrews, Mb., sat on the front row and would lead the field to the green flag. It would be Staff that would lead the first lap, but on lap two Staff would spin in corner two if front of the entire field. Everyone made it through and were able to contin-ue, but unfortunately for Staff he would have to do it from the rear of the field. Jeremy Nelson of Rogers, Mn., inherited the lead for the restart and quickly took advantage of the clear track in front of him. Nelson lead the next 25 laps with Rick Delaine of Stoney Mtn., Mb., running second only a couple of car lengths back. Nelson maneuvered his way through lapped traffic perfectly. With 13 to go Don Platow of Shevlin, Mn., spun in two bringing out the yellow putting the entire field on Nelson's bumper, but before the race could get started again the rains came. It was only about a 20 minute shower but was enough to make the race surface unfixable. Nelson got the checkers with Delaine second and Mike Stearns of Hecla, S.D. third. Heat wins went to Stearns, Dale Mathison of Cleawater, Mn., and Ward Imrie of Winnipeg, Mb.

Only two cautions slowed the Midwest Modified feature as Nate Reynolds of Edinberg, N.D. sat on the pole and would lead the entire race. Aaron Blacklance of Thief River Falls, Mn., was on Reynolds' bumper the entire race but couldn't get up beside him to make the pass and would finish second. Hunt-er Hougard of Karlstad, Mn., would finish third. Hougard would win his heat with other heat wins to Patrick Sobolik of Hallock, Mn., and Travis Saurer of Elizabeth, Mn.

The 12 car Street field had outside polesitter Heath Cor-neliusen of Salol, Mn., take the lead when Kyle Dykhoff of Perham, Mn., passed Corne-liusen out of corner two only to have it wiped out by a yellow. Corneliusen would take the lead on the restart and hold it for the next five laps when Dykhoff would pass Corneliusen out of corner four for the lead. The yellow flew for the last time on lap 10 and Dykhoff would hold

First trip North nets Nelson a Mod Tour winhis lead with the real race be-ing for second, third, and forth between Corneliusen, Shawn Teunis of West St. Paul, Mb., and Ryan Johnson of Karlstad, Mn. Johnson would get by Teunis with two to go for third and all three drivers went into three and four three wide on the white flag lap, but Corne-liusen would finish second and Johnson third. Dykhoff swept the eveing winning his heat adn Nick Linert of Badger, Mn., won the other heat.

There were only 10 Light-ning Sprints on hand and it would be the young lady from Kennedy, Mn., Presley Trued-son to take the early lead. Truedson started fourth and had a straightaway lead before the caution came out with five to go. But like a seasond vet, Truedson was able to hold all the guys off even through one more caution with two to go. The 13 year old picked up her first ever Lightning Sprint feature win, Roland Bernard of Winnipeg, Mb., would finish second, and Dexter Dvergsten of Greenbush, Mn., would finish third and win his heat. Ward Imrie would win the other heat.

Up next at the Park will be the final visit of the summer for the NOSA Sprints along with the WISSOTA Streets and Midwest Modifieds along with the Pure Stocks. Gates open at 4:30, Draw cutoff is at 6pm with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7pm sharp.

Deer lottery application deadline is Thursday, Sept. 10

Firearms and muzzleloader hunters who want to harvest antlerless deer throughout much of Minnesota this hunt-ing season are reminded they must purchase their license and apply for an antlerless permit by Thursday, Sept. 10, the Min-nesota Department of Natural Resources said.

Antlerless deer permits are issued by lottery in designated permit areas. Some areas that have not been in the lottery classification in recent years are in that classification this year, primarily as a result of new deer population goals.

“Hunters should review the hunting and trapping regula-tion book now,” said Leslie McInenly, big game program leader with the DNR. “The lot-tery applies to over half of the state permit areas this year, and it’s important to start plan-ning for the season.”

Hunters who want to par-ticipate in special firearm deer hunts also need to apply for per-mits that are issued by lottery, and the application deadline is Sept. 10. More information on deer permit areas and special hunts is in the DNR hunting regulations handbook, found online at www.mndnr.gov/hunt-ing/deer.

Farm By The Lake “Smash-ing the Car” was great fun and a huge success at the Clearwa-ter County Fair in Bagley on Sunday Aug. 9th! All ages were stopping by to take a swing at the car.

$352 dollars was raised to help with the cost of replacing the shower and tub in the Log Cabin. Watch for this event again next year when fair time rolls around.
